Snoring Help
Custom oral appliance therapy and sleep-focused dental care to help you stop snoring, breathe better at night, and wake up more rested.
What is it
Snoring help at Agoura Dental Group focuses on identifying the cause of your snoring and treating it with comfortable, dentist-prescribed oral appliances. These small, custom-made devices gently support the jaw and airway during sleep, often as a quieter, easier alternative to CPAP for mild to moderate sleep-disordered breathing.
How it works
After a consultation and any needed sleep evaluation, we design a custom-fit oral appliance that gently positions your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open while you sleep. The appliance is small, comfortable, and far less invasive than a CPAP machine.
How it helps
Treating snoring improves the quality of your sleep and your partner's, boosts daytime energy and focus, and lowers the long-term health risks linked to untreated sleep-disordered breathing, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Adults who snore regularly, wake up tired despite a full night's sleep, have been told they stop breathing at night, or have a partner whose sleep is disrupted by their snoring.
What is the typical experience?
Treatment typically starts with a consultation and a take-home sleep study if needed. If an oral appliance is recommended, you'll have impressions or a digital scan taken, then return for a fitting once your custom device is ready.
How long does it usually take?
Initial consultations take about 30 to 45 minutes. Once an oral appliance is made, the fitting and instruction visit typically takes 30 minutes, with brief follow-ups for adjustments.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Oral appliances work best when worn consistently every night. Mild jaw soreness or extra saliva is normal at first and usually fades within a few days.
What should I know about recovery after?
There's no recovery period — most patients adjust to wearing their appliance within a week and start sleeping more soundly almost immediately.
